Her intent was definitely criminal as that is what she was tying to show, if not then she wouldn't have had a story. It would be exactly the same as driving a car at 160km/h though downtown Wellington to show it can be done even though knowing that it is illegal.

And the police response is the equivalent of using that as justification to lower the speed limit from 50 to 30km/h.

Also it means we should ban Nissan Skylines, it doesn't matter if it was actually done with a rental Corolla because *everybody knows* that psycho drivers are attracted to Skylines.

Mark Weldon was the CEO of Media Works at the time & according the NZ Herald clip that I have he gave the go ahead for the team to proceed with their scam.

Or being caught driving over the limit. "Sorry officer I didn't INTEND to drink quite so much but I was trying to show others its possible " try that one and see where you end up

thats what shit about the whole mess
the cops want public help when it suits them but when we want to see everybody treated the same, and therefore have something to base the old respect they used to have on ?they let us down .
